deep things in darkness
the hero's journey to keep
tell me, when is darkness light and day night
or sickness health and well-being ennui?
have thy ever-known midnight to be bright
or a morning sun that fail'd to make thee see?
can thou learn like Job to perceive deep things
in darkness, seeing all that is hidden
or humble thy pride when wisdom it brings
and follow when still small voice has bidden?
before the light, darkness cover'd the deep
just as it resides within each of us
waiting for the hero's journey to keep
and through hard trials love more rather than less:
for truth is no stranger to deep shadow
nor hope found only in sunlight's bright glow.
